The editor of the Independent received a nicely printed invitation from some neighboring town to attend the first reception and dancing soiree of the ‘Occidental Club.” We appreciate the courtesy and would be delighted to attend this affair, especially the “dancing soiree,” but as the name of no town was given in the invitation we will be obliged to deny ourself this pleasure. The failure of E. S. Dean & Co., the Indianapolis investment firm, develops the fact that numerous dupes throughout Indiana have been bitten by this “get-rich-quick” concern. One township in the state coughed up $12,000 in one week to be “invested” by this firm. It is said that many people in some of the back townships who have not “heerd” of the failure are still sending money to this firm for investment. A dispatch from Indianapolis says: The ruling of the appellate court that township trustees have no authority to purchase “reading circle” books is likely to destroy this valuable adjunct to the educational system of the state. The directors, who are named by the state teachers’ association, with the superintendent of the department of public instruction, ex-officio a member have been called to meet at Indianapolis in the hope of devising some way by which the circles can be continued. Elkhart Review: People who have money, but no confidence in banks, no desire to loan on collateral security and not anxious to make it earn any interest, yet are not disposed to hoard it and desire to put it in circulation, have one method of accomplishing their purpose that may not occur to many, viz., the money order department of the United States postoffice department. The fact was incidentally made known to The Review yesterday, that over one thousand dollars’ worth of money orders in the Elkhart office alone await cashing, and most of them have been on hand a year or more. The holders of the orders adopted this means of “depositing” their I money, though they had to get some one ' else to take out the order, as the govern- , ment does not encourage such ‘‘deposits,” and will not issue orders in favor of the depositor. But if so much is allowed to stand uncalled for in the Elkhart office, the aggregate for the entire country must be very large.

A Summer Normal. Profs. D. A. Sharp and J.W. Kittinger will conduct the second annual summer normal in the New Carlisle high school building, commencing May 10 and continuing six weeks. Pupils wishing to attend summer school will do well to correspond with the gentlemen. Respectfully yours, D. A. Sharp. ! Spring being near it is time to talk . harness.

Filla bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; asedi ment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. What to do There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need A medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists: price fifty cents and on« dollar. For a sample bottle and pamphljt, both sent free by mail, mention thef Walkerton Independent and send yoir full post-office address to Dr. Kilmer 1 Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The proprietor of this paper guarantees the genuineness of this offer.
